Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Whisk

Ingredients 

  • 1 Vanilla Pod
  • 2 tsp Butter unsalted, soft
  • 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 200 ml Double Cream
  • 400 ml Milk
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • ½ tbsp Cocoa Powder
  • 250 ml Malty Drink or malt beverage for the non-alcoholic version

Instructions 

  • Split the vanilla pod lengthways and scrape out the seeds with the back of a knife.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the sugar. Allow the sugar to melt and caramelise lightly over medium heat, stirring constantly. It should not become too dark, or the caramel will taste bitter.
    Deglaze the caramel with half of the cream and continue to simmer while stirring until the caramel has dissolved.
  • Combine the milk, cinnamon, vanilla seeds, and cocoa powder in a container and whisk together well. Add the milk mixture to the hot cream mixture, bring to the boil, and simmer for 3 minutes while stirring.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the malty drink or for the non-alcoholic version, the malt beverage.
    Gently reheat the butterbeer over medium heat and turn off the heat. The butterbeer should not boil again.
  • Whip the remaining cream with a hand whisk until stiff.
    Pour the warm butterbeer into heatproof glasses or mugs. Before serving, spoon the whipped cream on top of the butterbeer and sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon to taste.
